Captain George Gibbons, Lieutenant Thomas Castle, and Ensign Sarsfield, with three serjeants, and twenty-seven rank and file of the THIRTY-FOURTH were killed; and Captains G. J. Widdrington and John Wyatt, Lieutenants John Hay, and ---- Walsh, with six serjeants, and eighty-five rank and file wounded. The word “ALBUHERA,” displayed by royal authority, on the colours of the regiment, commemorates the distinguished gallantry of the second battalion on this occasion; and a medal was conferred on its commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel William Fenwick. After the victory at Albuhera, the siege of _Badajoz_ was resumed; but the advance of two powerful French armies, under Marshal Massena and Marshal Soult, occasioned the British commander to raise the siege and take post behind the Caya, where the superior numbers of the enemy did not venture to attack him, and in a short time the French retired. Lord Wellington marched the main body of the army to the province of Beira, leaving ten thousand infantry, with a proportion of cavalry and artillery, in the Alemtejo, under Sir Rowland Hill; and the THIRTY-FOURTH formed a part of this force. General Girard’s division of the Fifth French corps having taken post at Caceres, Sir Rowland Hill advanced, on the 22nd of October, to drive the enemy from thence, and on the approach of the British troops, the French retired, halting at _Arroyo de Molinos_, a village situate in a plain at the foot of a ridge of rocks rising in the form of a crescent. An opportunity presenting itself to effect the surprise of this corps, the British performed a forced march in cold, wet, stormy weather, and arrived at the vicinity of the village at daybreak on the morning of the 28th of October, their approach being concealed by a thick mist with heavy rain. The French infantry were assembling outside the village to commence their march, the baggage was being loaded, and General Girard was waiting at his quarters for his horse, when suddenly the Seventy-first and Ninety-second British Regiments charged into the village, capturing much baggage and many prisoners; at the same time the Twenty-eighth and THIRTY-FOURTH made a detour, supported by the Thirty-ninth, to cut off the enemy’s retreat. The French formed two squares, and commenced retreating; the British pressed resolutely upon their opponents; the Thirteenth Light Dragoons captured the French artillery, the Ninth Light Dragoons and Second Hussars King’s German Legion overpowered the enemy’s cavalry, and the Twenty-eighth and THIRTY-FOURTH Foot cut off the retreat of the French infantry by the main road. Thus beset on every side, the French soldiers dispersed, and rushed with great speed up the steep mountain by an unfrequented path; when the Twenty-eighth and THIRTY-FOURTH British Foot passed a ploughed field at a running pace, and ascended the difficult precipice in pursuit, chasing the enemy among the rugged heights, and capturing many prisoners;
